Screen printing & Embroidery Buyers Guide

There’s a lot of screen printing and embroidery companies in New Zealand and it seems that they all have different ideas on how to quote, what garments to use and what type of process to use.

A lot of the time the reasons a company is quoting in a particular way is because they are limited to that particular service/garment, we don’t have these limits. We can provide whatever printing/embroidery service you need and we have wholesale agreements with all the major wholesale brands available in New Zealand.

Below is a quick 4 point check list, that will help you decipher the quotes you are collecting, and help you reach your ideal outcome.

Quotes guaranteed in 3 working hours or less

Bulk Order Specialists: From ten garments to thousands, get a quote for custom t-shirt printing or embroidery now. We will get back to you within 3 working hours, guaranteed.

Compare Apples with Apples

Some companies will just quote on the absolute cheapest garment on the market, regardless of whether it shrinks after two washes. We only use good quality garments. The same can be said for the printing method. So when comparing quotes make sure you are comparing the same things.

Compare the overall prices.

Some companies in the screen printing and embroidery industry have overly complicated quotes. For example, sometimes setup, shipping and design costs are extra. We won’t do this to you, and pride ourselves on our simple quotes. Hence to truly compare a quote you need to just compare the overall prices.

Hidden Charges.

Beware of hidden charges and remember the old cliche “If it seems to good to be true, it probably is”. We won’t surprise you with hidden costs. If the details of your quote doesn’t change our price won’t change.

Ask us to clarify.

If in doubt, ask us to clarify. We’d be more than happy to talk through the different products and services that you have been quoted on. You can give us a call on 0800 425372 or contact us now.

” Thank you to Marco and the team at Custom Clothing for their commitment to GREAT customer service. We wanted to work with a local New Zealand business to produce a number of printed team t-shirts and t-back singlets for an upcoming fitness expo in Australia.

From the point of first contact, Custom Clothing were quick to respond and offered plenty of reassurance along the way (it was new territory for us and we had lots of questions)! We had a difficult design to print and a variety of options on different colours that we required. They made the process easy and simple from start to finish and gave us all the solutions we needed. Custom Clothing definitely delivered in every aspect – they provided great service, quality and most importantly met our deadline with a fantastic looking product! Thanks Custom Clothing, we will certainly come to you for any future printing solutions. ”

“I cannot thank Custom Clothing enough for the hard work and amazing service I received! I came to them with a difficult design and a very short time frame and not only did these guys help me figure out the best possible process they also came back with the most competitive quote. These guys can definitely work outside of the the usual box. Our team branding has stepped up to a whole new level thanks to Custom Clothing and we will be back next race season with a new design to challenge them! Thanks guys for the exceptional service!”

” I would like to say how professional and excellent it has been working with customclothing.co.nz – our products (t-shirts) have always been produced and delivered within a prompt timeframe and the quality is EXCELLENT. We have tried 3 other producers of our t-shirts and none met (or came near to) the quality of custom clothing’s production. The guys at customclothing.co.nz are easy to communicate with and we would recommend them to anyone in need of QUALITY t-shirt production. ”

” Custom Clothing had offered me the most affordable and appropriate quotes for T-Shirts and Hoodies for my Association group and the final outcome of both T-Shirts and Hoodies were remarkable. Perfect quality of both the T-Shirts/Hoodies and the print. Custom clothing has fantastic customer service, great communication and kept to their word on offering ‘The best’. Highly recommend to everyone. ”

” After seeing the work Custom Clothing had done for the Auckland Laserforce Team, we knew they would do a great job for us. They didn’t disappoint! I would definitely use them again for any clothing I need done in the future. ”

” Our t-shirts were amazing. Not only were they well fitting, they were also of the best quality and great value for the price. Our student organizer found the company extremely helpful with suggestions, and accommodating with her ideas. On StageChallenge day, it was commented frequently that our t-shirt was the most attractive of all the schools on the day. One comment by an adult supervisor from another school was that it was the “best t-shirt of all the years”. Students have also reported that in the last 6 weeks, frequent washing has not dimmed the colours nor ruined the shape of the t-shirt. Overall, it has been a real pleasure working with the Custom Clothing team. ”
